My paper, "The Cross-Sectional Implications of the Social Discount Rate", is forthcoming in Econometrica! The basic idea of the paper in 5 tweets, and then some acknowledgements 1/9
Econometrica@ecmaEditors

Should policymakers discount the future less than the market? @MayaREden shows that any Paretian social welfare function that has this property must also favor more transfers from older people to younger ones @GPIOxford econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

1/ New review paper out today! "Mental Models of Causal Structure in Economics and Psychology" with MIT cognitive scientist @RaBhui and econ theorist Heidi C. Thysen. How do people come to believe that one thing causes another—and what happens when those beliefs are wrong? 🧵

Can we get social discount rates from individual ones? I argue no, and that we must use ethical reasoning for it. More strikingly, I argue that we cannot even get individual discount rates from market interest rates, and must also reason ethically. nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/on-individua…

Great blogpost as usual My 2 cents: pure time discounting is normatively strange even at the individual level. I see no reason why what happens to me on Monday should matter more than what happens on Tuesday. Discounting is a decision bias, the right benchmark is time neutrality

More and more wealth is passed down across generations. Yet, many countries have reduced inheritance taxes. What drove this trend? What are the consequences of reversing it? Don't miss my conversation later today with @Marius_Brulhart who knows more about this than anyone else!
Economics. For Society.@ubscenter

Join us with @Marius_Brulhart and @Florian_Scheuer to learn more about taxing inheritance, highlighting what data and policy experience can tell us about the role of inheritance in modern economies like Switzerland. ubscenter.uzh.ch/en/news_events… #EconomicsForSociety #UZH #shareUBS
